Leica Q3 alternatives? Is there even such a thing? No. And that’s what is cool about Leica. This article looks at the Fujifilm X100VI and a Panasonic possibility.

The Fujifilm X-M5 announced today (10/14) has a flip out screen. This camera caters to videographers who love v-logging and vertical orientation shooting. My opinion: For photography, stick with the X100VI.
Fujifilm X-M5 (coming Oct. 14) The lightest model in the current X series. Equipped with advanced features for both stills and video. Enjoy shooting every day with ease. Sounds interesting, but they're making it a hybrid camera. This is just a bad idea that keeps going.

I (usually) enjoy looking at car photos from photographers who don't specialize in car photography. There is a good possibility that you can acquire a new perspective. Here is a collection from Jay Maisel.

Xperia Pro-C (rumor) Sony is rumored to launch a 1 inch sensor smartphone named Xperia Pro-C in late 2024. The C stands for camera. Sony is the only camera company that has a line of smartphones but they have so far resisted the idea of making a android based compact camera. Will the Xperia Pro-C be a clear step in that direction?
